As a member/user of Renderosity, it is your responsibility to know, and adhere to the Terms of Service. Renderosity reserves the right to change, alter or modify the Terms of Service as needed. All postings, past and present are subject to the most current terms of service.

Member/User Conduct:

Members and users are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is constructive and respectful of others at all times. Additionally, we hope that each member/user will work to facilitate a culture of collaboration and positive reinforcement, so we can all share our passion for art while developing our personal ambitions, and friendships.

Members/Users will not use this community for:

Any practices that affect the normal operations of the community (Admins will take whatever steps are necessary to restore service).

Transmitting any libelous, defamatory, or any other material that could give rise to any civil or criminal liability under the law.

Advertising or linking to any publications and/or web sites that are sexually explicit , and/or pornographic in nature.

HARASSMENT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AT RENDEROSITY. If anyone feels as if they’re being harassed by another member, please report it to someone from our Renderosity team. Such messages will be deleted and the member may be banned from using these functions. This applies to any communications within this community, which includes but not limited to forums, art galleries, graffiti wall, chat, blogs, sitemail or article opinions. Please remember when stating your opinion, it's not hurtful, rather it's constructive criticism and doesn't offend other members.

Flame Baiting. It can be a person familiar with a certain topic/discussion on an internet forum group, saying things that would provoke an angry, teasing, or overall negative response. For example: You’re a loser if you think Poser is better than Daz. OR Everyone knows which software will be at the top next time this year and it won’t be Poser/Daz. [These will purposely provoke negative reactions.]

Trolling. Purposely causing harm to others by stating destructive commentary such as “that’s an ugly photo you just uploaded.” Or, “you are horrible at creating photos, you should re-learn Poser.” If you need assistance, please communicate with someone from our Renderosity Team.

Political/Religious Viewpoints. Since discussions of a Religious and Political nature tend to be heated because of varying viewpoints, we feel that as an artists' forum, there is no place for these types of discussions. Insulting someone’s religion or speaking about political views in a negative manner is not tolerated anywhere on our site.

Advertising or linking to any publications and/or web sites that are sexually explicit , and/or pornographic in nature.

No character attacks, which could be interpreted as defamation of character, slander, and libelous.

Commercial images are welcome in the galleries with following
restrictions: 1. Posting of commercial images/links
is limited to active vendors and products in the Renderosity Marketplace. 2:
Commercial language is limited to
text in the Notes area and may not appear on the actual image.

Avatars may not contain nudity

Any gallery image that contains nudity, violence, and/or language must be flagged for those advisories (Check boxes are located on the actual gallery upload form)

A signed model release with Photo-ID is required for all photograph images. Renderosity frequently requires proof be faxed or emailed into our office.

If you have a problem with any post or image, please contact the Team for assistance. Any post, image or writings can be removed at the discretion of staff if it is deemed unsuitable. Conversely there may be some images which, whilst in apparent violation of the rules, will be permitted to stay in the interests of free speech and religious tolerance. In such cases the artist may be asked to furnish reasons why the image should be permitted to stay and the decision of the Renderosity staff will be final.
